The French minister

Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexandre Taillard de Vorms is a human whirlwind and a man confident in France's importance on the world stage. In this hilarious send-up of diplomacy and international politics, he takes on American neo-cons, corrupt Russians and the opportunistic Chinese while his hapless speech writer endures the eccentricities of his megalomaniacal boss and his sycophantic entourage.

Altho true the full humor of the film requires a good knowledge not just of French as a language but of French politics, it can still be very enjoyable simply for the physical action and what can glean from the subtitles -- English, after all, does allow for some great word play.

A funny, witty comedy but unfortunately
only French people can appreciate the sarcasm , private jokes , quid pro quos and word play which cannot possibly be translated in English and since the whole movie is language driven and based on double entendre...
